But yes lots of people mistaken Pine Siskins as Goldfinch but they are of the finch family . We have quite a few of all here this year , such cute birds they are to . Lovely photos . Lots of snow there still .

They are an irruptive species: sometimes everywhere and then hardly any the next year. Nice ski trails.

The birds are great - two of my favorites.
